Heavy Use Phase y DISASTER RECOVERY y Tier 1 applications y Backup built for VM y Performance/Quality of Service y VM Mobility y VDI NUMBER OF VMs Light Use Phase y Utility servers Pilot Phase y High availability y POC servers y Testing/development Time TIME

“How important are the following motivations for adopting server virtualization?”

Very important Important Slightly/somewhat important Not important Doesn’t know or does not apply to me

Cut hardware costs 43% 39% 12% 6% 1%

Improve power and cooling 21% 37% 29% 10% 3%

Improve server 41% 46% 8% 4% 1% manageability and flexibility Create a shared IT 27% 40% 22% 10% 1% infrastructure Improve disaster recovery 49% 34% 12% 4% 2% and business continuity

Base: 197 server decision-makers at North American and European enterprises that are interested in, are implementing in the next 12 months, or have already implemented server virtualization for x86 servers (percentages may not total 100 because of rounding)

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery for VM Sub Components with Application Level Consistency Replication y Single interface for multiple Manager & VMware applications and replication Application Replication /Recovery for Virtualized technologies Components y Application & Storage aware y Automated replication and recovery for individual application components e.g. • File Systems • Exchange Storage Groups • Oracle/SQL databases Virtualized components • RDM/VMFS Luns that comprise those applications

Site Recovery Manager Leverages VMware Infrastructure and EMC Advanced Replication Software to Automate Disaster Recovery y Recovery of a Single VM or an Entire PRODUCTION RECOVERY Site APP APP APP APP APP APP APP APP y Turns complex manual recovery OS OS OS OS OS OS OS OS runbooks into automated recovery plans y Delivers central management of recovery plans from VirtualCenter y Simplifies and automates disaster recovery workflows: – Setup, testing, failover

Site Recover Manager Requires Replication Technology Makes disaster recovery rapid, EMC SRDF family, MirrorView, Celerra Replicator, reliable, manageable, affordable and RecoverPoint

Celerra Replicator FS/LUN FS/LUN IP replication with Quality of Service to optimize LAN LAN/WAN bandwidth utilization Snaps Snaps

2 MirrorView 1 Synchronous replication for flexible recovery-point and recovery-time objective requirements 4 3

SRDF Family The ultimate business continuity and disaster recovery solution for the broadest range of use cases

RecoverPoint Windows Host, array, fabric continuous data protection Replica of SOFTWARE Virtualization layer Windows SOFTWARE Virtualization layer HARDWARE IntelHARDWARE architecture Intel architecture (CDP), continuous remote replication (CRR), Linux concurrent local and remote (CLR) data protection; and compression Production ESX Servers Replica of Linux Backup Server

> EMC is responsible for creating, certifying, and supporting replication adapters > Adapters available from VMware product download site http://www.vmware.com/download/download.do?downloadGroup=SRM100 > New adapters do not require updates to Site Recovery Manager > Storage must support replication and be on VMware Storage HCL > No Charge item

Heterogeneous, Network-Based Replication y Replicate VMware VMFS (Virtual Machine File System) across heterogeneous storage y Compress data, optimize bandwidth (up to 10 times) y Protect and recover a single virtual machine or the entire VMware ESX Server y Protect virtual environments with local and/or remote point-in-time recovery

SRM DR TEST

Failover/Test is Initiated from DR site

Shut Down Protected Production VM’s (Not performed during Failover Test)

Prepare Storage • SRM Communicates with Underlying Hardware via SRA • All Scanning/ Mounting/Importing Operations are Automated

SRM DR TEST

Free Up ESX Resources at DR Site if Necessary

• Power Up Recovered VM’s in a Pre-Defined Order • Pause Points can be added to wait for operator intervention etc.

SRM DR TEST

Pause Point Verify Success Of Test

SRM DR TEST

The Placeholder VM is brought up in a network “Test Bubble” to ensure isolation from Production machine

SRM DR TEST

Placeholder is brought up in a “Crash Consistent” state

True DR Test
